Beautiful, dear Vance. True love is Divine Light flowing unhindered from the heart to all beings, IMHO. Your poem captures this idea so well. Refined octave of perception, well portrayed with eloquent phonetics.
Especially love these lines and images:
It folds the fingers of gratitude
Into hands of thankful prayer
and:
It scurries to warm smiles and tender touch
Singing promises of everlasting bond
One spag nit:
To all of our world(')s humanity
*one suggestion:
Than the light of love that shines (on) our path
What a perfect closing note: joy's eternity
A very uplifting write. Bravo. Thank you.
Divine!
Infinite Light and Love,

Comment from Katherine2
What a beautiful serene depiction of true love. "It scurries to warm smiles and tender touch," is an amazingly gift of words. Our path is always shining if we simply look into the light that is constantly guiding us. You have captured that grace in this work. Gratitude is a practice I fear so many in our world do not respect. In the waking moments when yesterday becomes today if we all could simply say, "I'm grateful for..." before we rise, our world would be more peaceful and enriched.
Take care~Katherine

It folds the fingers of gratitude
Into hands of thankful prayer" is excellant as well as " It scurries to warm smiles and tender touch" Your words are living entities

Comment from Dawn Munro
add an apostrophe for possession - world(')s humanity...
There is no greater gift than the one of love, for God IS love, and your poem expresses this beautifully, my friend. best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Shysea
I like the topic and the message of your poem.Love is a greatest gift from God that that is full of power.Cultivating such gift is just like or better than taking antidepressant medication.It will provide real happiness that causes a person to focus on others rather than being focused on what he will get from others or focusing on how he will be treated.Being self-focused is major source of depression.If we will cultivate love specifically AGAPE love (not only romantic kind of love)we will not have a feeling of inadequacy but we will have a feeling of contentment anf fulfillment..Love based from God's principles is also a powerful instrument for a perfect bond of union for couple.It will provide us power to endure...power to forgive and forget and ...power to be patient.
Continue sharing your poems...i always visited fanstory despite of my busy schedule and i am always eager to read your poetic work specifically about nature and spiritually related topic but not those politically related topic.Sorry..i am just being honest..

Comment from Spitfire
A pleasant surprise for the traditional reader who thinks of romance as between male and female as opposed to the love that exists through God's light. Especially powerful because of your personification of this abstract word.
Best of luck in the contest, Vance.
Hugs,
Shari

Thanks so much Shari, for your lovely review. I'm glad to hear from you and hope all is well with you and family. I've moved from Vegas to Cincinnati and time has been hectic, plus adjusting from Heavenly weather, to awful weather. I hope to be able to spend more time now on FS and look forward to catching up with your works also. Blessings and Hugs! Vance

Comment from Lloyd T. Okoko
The objective correlative of the poem is a reminiscence on the synonymous nature between love and light.
The work highlights the potential of a love-cum-light relationship in precipitating a prayerful life that predispses warm smiles and understanding.
The work constitutes a significant commentary that attests to the infallibility of light in leading humanity out of the oddities of life.
Excellent work! Bravo!
